Wedding in Cyprus 2007

by **Sambelina** on Sat Jan 20, 2007 5:53 pm

I live in Paphos and have Linda from Paphos Total Weddings organising a majority of my wedding. She was recommended to me, and is excellent, comment snipped - if you've nothing nice to say...

She will be at my wedding from start to finish, making sure it all goes perfect for us on the day. She is very particular about who she recommends, and I saw her in action at another wedding in a restaurant, and she was insisting on a good service.......she's very good!

She's got a website I think?? But she took us to all the popular reception places where she has already had weddings, and advised me on a dress, and our rings and traditional English wedding cakes.

Hope this helps xx

Hi There, Congrats on your wedding plans, Im looking to get married in Paphos May 2008. The Peyia Town hall looks nice. Im just finding it so hard to find the right reception venue and also the right hotel to stay in. Too much choice. Does anyone know what Almyra is like, it looks gr8 on photos. We have 2 children who will be 3 and 10 by then so the hotel needs to like children. Dont know whether to have the reception at a hotel or to find another place. Its so scary when you have not been. We have around 40 guests coming so need to get it right. Pressure!!! how have you done it???

Hi Sharon,

I completely understand how you feel. I myself got married in cyprus nearly two years ago and we are now living in cyprus.

I can answer some of your questions and also give you some good idea if you want a small wedding and how to go by registering for the license first. Some people don't actually tell you that you first need to apply for a license to get married in cyprus and that can take anything from 1 month to 6 months to get. After that you are able to make your choice there are some nice villas that I know of that have a small chapel on the grounds and definatly St- George hotel in paphos I think also has the chapel on the hotel grounds but, it all sounds good until you start talking to them about arrangments and prices. We in the hand arranged all our wedding plans and did it all under the amazing price of 3500 pounds including the drinks and food for our 75 guests. That is what I call in bargain and a very nice relaxing romantic wedding not to be forgotten.

I am lucky to understand the language and i managed to get away with a lot of costs that they would charge the wedding tourist as they call us.

Also at to the best man and his wife you can have them as a witness and also you have to have a ceremony at the town hall of the city you decide to get married in. This is all part of the legal procedure of making your marriage legal and then off to the party.

If you want to talk more I can help and point you in the right direction at least.

Yours
Steph

Hi there

We are getting married in cyprus in september at the nissi beach resort, my advice is to book through your travel agent who will have a wedding planner that will take great care in organising the day, however the legalities are somewhat more trying, I have the passport, birth certificate but am really struggling with the affitdavit required!! None of the solicitors local to me have been able to help and the one who could advise wanted to charge us �220 for the pleasure! so like you if anyone has any advice on the affitdavit needed to marry in cyprus would be greatly appreciated!! I am so worried that we will not be able to have our wedding because of one silly document!!!!! Im just worried that we will get it wrong!! help!! xxx

Hello. We were married in Cyprus in May 2006. Everything was perfect. We married at Peyia town hall and held the reception in a Taverna further up into the hills at a place called Kathikas - the taverna is called the Farmyard Taverna - and the food is amazing!

We did everyting through a planner - but booked flights independantly. We wanted something relaxed - I didnt want what I called an "identikit" wedding, as a lot of the planner and travel agents seem to have "basic" "middle" and "high end" weddings at fixed prices and that didnt suit us at all.

We stayed in a villa (freinds and family stayed wherever they liked to suit their budget)

I wanted transport to collect as many guests as possible, and the same to take them all back to their hotels. This was arranged and most people - includiong the groom were picked up from 2 locations (central Paphops and Coral Beach) in the village bus (lots of character - really fun)

I was picked up by Taxio from the villa.

The wedding was lovely. Very quick, very relaxed. we had a photographer and a video (DVD) which was in total only about �200 (bargain) I do recommend buying the cd of proofs though as you can get creative with them at home...because they turn the photos around so quickly they are not that well thought out. The photo quality is good, but needs a bit of adjustment to cut out a car thats passing, or a bit of guttering etc!

the DVD was great and makes me laugh evertime I watch it!

After the wedding, we all piled into the bus to drive up to Kathikas, where the restaurant was wating for us. I wanted a champagne reception with olives and nuts. We then had a huge mezze (too much food) which only cost about �10 a head, and loads of village wine (at about �6 a bottle) it was good enough as all the guests went up and bought their own when the table supply ran out! The food was amazing and there was so much left over (not like normal weddings when you are still slightly hungry!) The wedding cake was a big choccie cake which they served up as dessert with some local fruits and cream.

We chose the music ont he sound system, and we had a few speeches, but there was no dancing (i didnt want to hire the restaurant exclusively so at about 8pm some "normal" people came in!) everyone just sat around talking and drinking. They even bought some pastries and other food out later whcih hardly anyone ate we were all still stuffed!

A taxi collected us at 11pm and the bus came back at Midnight for the rest of the group, droppiung them all at their hotels.

It was brilliant. The nice thing about getting married abroad is you cant worry about the "little" things that would preoccupy you at a normal wedding - table cloth colour? Who cares? Balloons and flowers? Forget it (I asked for any empty space on the table to be filled with food and wine - not decorations!)

Planning it was a doddle. If anyone want any advice just ask.

Budget wise - we had 2 weeks in a huge private villa (with pool) large enough for a family of 6, in the middle of nowhere, flights, dress, fiood, wine, and everything else - and didnt spend �4k. I wouldnt change a thing!

If anyone wnats photos please let me know

We used Michelle at Freetime Tours
